Two errors have appeared in Table 2. For the substantia nigra compacta, thecorrect real interpoint distance (mm) is 0.1176 mm, not 0.1765 mm, and thecorrect real area of each point, a(p) (mm2) is 0.0138 mm2, not 0.0312 mm2. Thedata in Table 1 for the substantia nigra compacta is based on the correct realinterpoint distance of 0.1176 mm and a(p) of 0.0138 mm2.
